Put an axe on the back again?

Thor though...wow, certainly sounds as though it did okay at least. Hope Envy turned out as good

Cheers Joey....Envy did work well i was pleased all in all. Still i have found yet another prob in for form of a dodgy brush in the motor which hindered things a little. But wont the comp fight and did well in melees. Now to Thor.....We have worked very very hard and percivered with Thor and the results are starting to show. Dtk did get a beating but remember it was still driving at the end of the fight....a testement to a very good robot. We are very pleased tho and look forward to the next event

Superb event. Cabrakan performed fantastically, we were all dead chuffed to come 3rd (!!!).
Congrats to Thor for doing what even Major Damage couldnt do and finally stopping us.
Thanks to everyone who worked so hard running it, and for the many Cabrakan compliments, we love you all. Bring on the videos!

Agree with Lawrie, great event and fun to get fighting with a heavy.
Funny how from fluke and luck Cabrakan being a non competitive robot was in a final with big nipper, beast, tiberious and mighty thor. Of course none of the armor panels line up after getting hit by thor a bit too many times and of course major damage having a kill on site with us lol. But yeah....third, unbelevable.
Gratz on thor, thanks and sorry to Edd W for beating him in such a cheap way and helping me change the wotty over to the feather.
Looks like im going to have to make Cabraken instructable if lawrie keeps picking fights with good robots

That was an excellent event, well done Jonno and the rest of the RR Crew for making a good show!

I have to say, I really did enjoy myself if not having Storm Force voted as the underdog most of the time by the crowd. The media was excellent, and the effort put into the show to make it spectacular was phenomenal. A shame Pugs battery fell out in both its fights, but I hope to get that sorted in the next couple of days, I have to say how I also loved it in the break between the 2 shows today when we listened to the music and had fun with the media, dancing to Scooter was a good example! Some of the fights really surprised me as well like when St Hammer looked the more aggressive in their fight with Beast and when Dantomkia came out looking flat as a pancake after the punishment it took from its fights with Thor and Tiberius! Id like to say a couple of thank yous as well, particularly to Sean, Shane, Tom, David and John for helping me out during the show, ur all a great bunch

My photos are yet to follow as well and well done to Thor for winning the competition, Those who are going to Newcastle next month, see you there!
